Default El cluster in civic

So I recently just purchased an acura el cluster for my 98 coupe which the cluster looks amazing the only issue is that when I start my car up the km/h shoots up to 50.. Now I was sure to be gentle when swapping it out withy auto cluster an when I plug the auto cluster back up it works perfectly fine what can be the issue??

P.s. My car used to be automatic and I still am using the auto ecu but I don't think that would be the problem would it??

Most likely, or someone took the needles off for some dumb reason, and didnt put them on back right..either tinkle with it, trying to get it to work. I got the el cluster, looks perfect, get the ctr carbon fiber overlay if you have the money, absolutely stunning to look at!

Well i actually lost train of thought, i have other things going on..either the ecu is tripping with the cluster( doubtful) or the cluster was messed with. Either the needle was taken off, or the cluster is messed up

Check engine light. Your car is manual now right? You should have 3 codes, shift solenoid, lockout clutch, and linear solenoid..i did the swap, and those are the 3 codes you will get.

Hahahah, thats funny. Now much you buy it for? Mine was 75 bucks on ebay, and you can get the carbon fiber overlay at icbmotorsports.com for like 21 bucks.
